Viper 1260

Hi!
I have a question for anyone who has/had an Viper1260
accelerator card.
I just have bought a standard A1200 with no accelerator
or memory-upgrade card. But you know: it's too slow!
Now I was thinking about buying a new Viper1260 with 64MB from Vesalia for about 237EUR.
My question is:
Is this a good reliable card? Is it running OK with
no cooling-fan in the trapdoor slot of the a1200?
Is 237EUR a fair price for this item?
Has anyone had good/bad experiences with this
type of accelerator card?

Thanks for your replies guys.
Well, I'm still not sure what to do.
Buying a (second hand)Blizzard1260 on eBay
cost almost the same as a new Viper1260.
But then I get a 2 year warranty on that one.
If I buy a Blizzard on eBay, and the thing
is gonna collapse or something, then I lost
a lot of money... No warranty at all...
I'm gonna sleep another night over it before
I deside what to do.
 :huh:

I have no personal experience from the Viper1260 but as it's an overclocked 060 (and the chance is there are some with XC's CPU)

What is the difference between XC's CPU's
and the "regular" ones anyway?
